Wow what a weekend!
I will have to be honest with you in saying I might not make the first game if I had to be up at 5:30 am. So solid of you to dedicate your weekend (and $50 entry!) to supporting the family.
Since I procrastinate big jobs and adventures to the weekend, I am quite often more tired at the end of it than I was at the beginning. I still find it better to be physically tired at the end of these weekends than mentally tired at the end of a work week for the real accomplishment.
A little brewery visit and beer helps put out that fire!
Solid weekend.
